Haven Rose Dukes is a big five-year-old now, and she celebrated big Sunday afternoon with a Hawaiian theme party. There was a bouncy house with a swimming pool that all the little ones enjoyed, while the grandparents, great-grandparents, uncles, aunts and friends watched them having a good time. I don’t think I have ever seen a little one enjoy her birthday party as much as she did. Lil’ Waylon Jr. slept right through the biggest part.
Joey and Katelyn McClanahan, Shelby DeWitt and JK, all of Brandon, visited Bobby Joe McClanahan and Michelle and other family this weekend.
Jordanna Twilley is visiting Shannon Manzo and Frank and Cris Manzo for a few days.
Ginger Harrison said they had a great weekend. As usual, it was not long enough. They all celebrated niece Lilly Whitaker’s 22nd birthday at Momma’s Sunday night. Candy cooked a good meal and a fabulous strawberry cake.
Martha Box also reported about Lilly, her granddaughter’s birthday. Martha said Candy Box, Lilly’s mother, came over and baked a cake while cooking supper. It turned out great and fed the crew.
Rissa and her honey bunch, Steven Jackson, along with Addie Copper and Lilly, came in with a little bitty six-week-old puppy — a miniature wiener dog! “Poor dog liked me best,” said Martha, “but he liked being passed from one to another.”
Ben, Marnie, Phil, Ginger, Jake and Josh Harrison also attended the party.
Martha said it was such a great afternoon after a wonderful church visit. After a great singing of Nothing But the Blood of Jesus, Bro. Harris at Tillatoba Baptist Church gave a Spirit-led message of Jesus’ blood saving us from Hell!
Martha said they also had a great gathering and eating at Willow Springs Assembly of God Saturday evening. Fish fry foods were followed by cake and ice cream. “Well, it smelled and looked so good, but I am on a low-carb, low-fat diet. So I ate a burger with no bread! Trying hard to get my priss back … lol … at least I got a good walk back!” she said.
Martha, anytime you can’t go to a good eating like that, just call me and I will go in your place.
Happy birthday to Chuck Hancock, Nick Traywick and Brent Bowman on the 27th; Louise Gaither on the 28th; Ann Fly Kirk and Johnny Jackson on the 29th; and Chad Eskridge on the 30th. May you all have a great day of celebrating your special day.
Tommy and Deborah McCool went to Leland Wednesday afternoon to bring Tommy’s sister, Alice Kellum, home. Tommy’s brother-in-law, Jim, has been having more health issues and is now in the hospital in Greenville. He is supposed to be moving to Ruleville on Monday if all goes well. Hopefully, they can work with him and improve some of his health problems.
Your writer and David babysat with our two grand-dogs for my daughter Donna Sunday morning. Donna had a leak in her ceiling and had to make a trip to Lowe’s to get the parts to fix it. Coco and Jack met her at the door when she got back. Those two dogs love their keeper.
Thought for the Day: I’ve walked the walk and talked the talk, now at my age, I’m just gonna sit the sit!
